Seeds should be soaked in a dark area overnight. Put some seeds (a small amount) in a container that isn't too large for the plant you'll be growing. Fill that container with water, almost to the top. That way, the seeds will have sufficient hydration and will have the best start possible. The seeds will have a better chance of surviving and maturing.
